OLOIE A. NORLUND, OF WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA.
Y ICE-CREEPER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented J an. 21, 1913.
Application filed May 15, 1911. Serial No. 627,317.
To all 'whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, OLoF A. NORLUND, a citizen of the United States, residing at Williamsport, in the county of Lycoming and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Ice-Creeper, of which the following` is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in ice Creepers. Y
The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of ice Creepers, and to provide a simple, efcient and inexpensive ice Creeper, adapted to be readily applied to a boot or shoe, and capable,when secured to the same, of adjusting itself automatically to suit the size of the heel.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the Construction and novel combination of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended; it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion, size and minor details of construction, within the scope of the claims, may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a plan view of an ice Creeper, Constructed in accordance with this invention, the attaching strap being in section. Fig. 2 is a reverse plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a similar view on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of one of the sections of the ice Creeper. Fig. 6 is a detail sectional view, illustrating the construction of the calks.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawing.
In the accompanying drawing in which is illustrated the preferred embodiment of the invention, the ice Creeper comprises in its construction a casing conforming to the conguration of and adapted to fit the heel of a shoe and divided longitudinally to form two side plates or sections 1 and 2, stamped or otherwise formed from sheet metal, or other suitable material, and provided at their outer side edges with upwardly extending marginal flanges 3 and 4, adapted to fit against the side and rear faces of the heel of a boot or shoe. The side plates or sections, which are movable inwardly and outwardly along parallel lines in opposite directions transversely of the ice Creeper to vary the size thereof, are provided with front and rear transversely disposed arms 5, 6, 7 and 8, arranged in pairs and forming overlapping slidable connections between the plates or sections. The front arm 5 of the section 1 is arranged beneath the arm 6 of the section 2, and it eX- tends .through a slot 9 of the latter. The section 2 is provided with a transverse depression 10, which extends inwardly from the marginal ange 4 to the slot 9, the plate being slotted at the inner end of the transverse depression 10. This construction arranges the upper face of the arm 5 in substantially flush relation with the upper face of the section 2. The section 1 is also pro vided at the front portion with a transverse depression 11, which receives the front arm 6 of the section 2.
The section 1 is depressed at the inner end of its rear arm 7 at 12, and it is provided at the depression 12 with a slot 13 through which the rear arm 8 of the section 2 passes. The slots 9 and 13 extend in a direction longitudinally of the ice Creeper, and each plate or section thereof has one of its arms extended through a slot in the other plate or section. The rear arm. 7 of the section 1 fits against the lower face of the section 2, and the rear arm 8 of the section 2 after passing through the slot of the section 1 fits against the lower face of the latter. The sections 1 and 2 are provided at their rear portions with transverse slots 14 and 15 in which operate rivets 16 and 17, connected, respectively, with the ends of the arms 8 and 7, and provided with heads, which engage the upper faces o-f the sections 1 and 2. The transverse slots 14 and 15 and the rivets limit the lateral separation of the sections of the4 ice Creeper, which is adapted to be varied in size to fit heels of different sizes. The rivets 16 and 17 also secure straps 18 and 19 to the ends of the rear arms 7 and 8, and the straps 18 and 19, which eX- tend outwardly from the arms pass upwardly thro- ugh slots 20 and 21 in the side flanges 3 and 4 of the sections 1 and 2, and are adapted to be supported over the instep of the foot by a buckle 22 of any preferred construction. Vhen the straps are tightened, they automatically draw the sections l and 2' of they ice Creeper ,inwardly and cause the same to adjust themselves to t the heel properly.
The sections Vare provided at their lower faces with calks 23, or other suitable ice engaging means to prevent the wearer from slipping on ice, snow, or other slippery surfaces. The calks preferably consist of pointed spurs or projections having reduced shanks 24, piercing the sections 0f the ice creeper and provided at the upper faces thereof with heads 25.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let-ters Patent, is:
I. An ice Creeper comprising a casing adapted to fit the heel of a shoe and divided longitudinally into two side sections, each provided with a laterally extending arm guided on the other section, said arms being movable transversely of the heel in opposite directions along substantially parallel lines, and .attaching means connected with the outer portions of the arms and arranged lto draw the sections bodily together to secure a lit.
2. An ice creeper including two side sections having transversely disposed arms, each section having a slot receiving an' arm of the other section, whereby the sections are slidably connected and are adjustable i to fit heels of different sizes, and attaching means arranged when applied to draw the sections Y together to automatically secure a fit.
3. An ice creeper includingy two side sections having transversely disposed arms, each section having a slotreceiving an arm of the other section, whereby the sections are slidably connected and are adjustable toy fit heels of different sizes, and securing means connected with the outer ends of the arms of the opposite sections and arranged to draw the sections inwardly to cause the same to fit a heel automatically.
4. An ice Creeper including side sections provided with transversely disposed arms and having transverse slots, fastening del vices mounted on the arms and operating in the transverse slots of the sections, and straps secured to the arms by the fastening devices and arranged to draw the sections inward automatically to cause the ice creeper to lit a heel.
5. An ice creeper including side sections provided at their outer edges with marginal flanges lhaving openings, said side sections being also provided at their inner edges with transverse arms arranged in overlapping re lation, and straps connected with the arms and extending through the openings of the said flanges and arranged to draw the sections inward automatically.
6. An ice creeper including side sections provided with transverse arms, each of the sections having a depression receiving the arm of the other section, and one of the sections being slotted at the inner end of its depression to receive the arm of the other section, whereby the two sections are slidably connected.
7. An ice creeper including side sections provided with front and rear transverse arms arranged in pairs in overlapping relation, one of the arms of each pair being extended through a slot of the section having the other arm, whereby the sections are slidably connected. i
8. An ice Creeper including side sections 5 provided with slots and with front and rear transverse arms arranged in pairs in over- ;lapping relation, one of the arms of each ipair being extended through a slot of the section having the other pair of arms,
whereby the sections are slidably connected, i
and straps connected'to the outer ends of L the arms and arranged to draw the sections inward automatically.
In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signag'ture in the presence of two witnesses.
